Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | | | Joined: Jan 2022 Posts: 9 'Bolter | 1946 Chevrolet 3/4 Ton Pickup I saw the old truck sitting in a fella's yard in a little town 40 miles from home. I knocked on the door and didn't get an answer. After returning home I wrote a letter and mailed it. To my surprise the gentleman called and I made arrangements to go look at the pickup. Before i Knew it I was the new owner :-)

Thanks for posting

So, I looked at your 46 3/4 Ton. Nice truck! What hubcaps are you running? My truck came with 1 piece 16'' wheels with 750X16'' tires. I don't know if they are Ford wheels or not. I also got the original wheels with the lock ring. I want to run hubcaps, but the originals won't work.

Tire size is 235/85-16 Goodyear radials, and the hubcaps come from Hubcap Mike 11-5/8 inch to 11-3/4 inch Size Baby Moon Hubcap Stainless Steel Center Cap, IMP-M12. Good luck with your truck and give us some more pictures of the old gal..

Now there is hope!
